Can’t wait to dance with you at home!
For weeks it seems I’ve been endlessly working on a new project, and now I’m so happy to finally share that I have an online class option for you! I’d spent quite a bit of time experimenting with live streaming and ZOOM , but internet connections, time zones and my already super full schedule have made it difficult to be able to set up a reliable and consistent livestream option.
I was therefore very excited when Zumba just released its own platform ZIN Studio which currently allows Zumba instructors to post a prerecorded class video, available for a 5 hour period of time.
Truthfully, my class schedule has INCREASED, at least temporarily, as more private clients are unable to travel and people are focusing on their health. However, I can’t help but notice the students who are not able to join group classes currently, and I can’t ignore there are people all over the world who are struggling physically, emotionally, and financially during this time . This has been my motivation in bringing you an online class available at many times and on a donation basis, so that truly everyone who needs to dance and wants to dance with me is able to do so.
I will do my best to edit in and add new songs to the class video each week so that just as in a live class you can practice the same routines while also getting some variety in!
Please check out the links I’ve included below for more information on logging into my class . Try the class out, do it as many times as you want, and if you enjoyed the experience, consider making a donation if you are in the position to do so, or share it with someone you know who might need some movement in their life!
❤️During these times, I’m aware of the added stress and uncertainty many people are facing. I believe in the benefits dance fitness has not only on our health, but also on our mental and emotional wellbeing.
No matter where you are in the world, I want to stay connected with you and keep dancing together!
💃🏻 Online classes are now available on Mondays 9:00am & 5:00pm , Wednesdays 9:00am & 5:00pm, and Saturdays 9:00am & 5:00pm ( listed as Taiwan Time; Check the World Clock for your time zone!) at https://www.zumba.com/en-US/profile/kathleen-batchelor/797245
⏰From the class start time ( 9:00 am , 5:00pm ) the link to the prerecorded 1 hour class will be available for a period of 5 hours before it expires. ( For example, you can dance to the 9:00am class anytime between 9:00am- 2:00pm , and the 5:00pm class anytime between 5:00- 10:00pm ).
💰For the time being, participating in these classes will be on a donation basis. Suggested donations per class are $5US/150nt for students $3US/90nt for ZIN members , and can be made at :

等不及要和你一起在家跳舞啦！
馬不停蹄地著手這個新計劃已經好幾周的時間了。今天，終於能夠大喊：「線上課程開課了！」能為你們多提供一種選擇，真的讓我十分雀躍！花了許多時間嘗試直播與 Zoom ，但是網路的品質、時差、以及我原本就滿檔的行程等原因，使得要建立一個可靠、常態的直播課程非常的困難。
當 Zumba 開始這個他們自己的平台 - ZIN Studio，目前這個平台可以讓 Zumba 老師播放錄製課程，每堂課有 5 個小時的觀看時間。
老實說，我的課比之前更多了（目前是這樣），由於大家無法出國，所以更多私人課的學生更加注重在他們的健康狀況。然而，我無法忽視那些目前無法來上團體班的同學們，也無法忽視世界各地因疫情在生理、情緒或財務中掙扎的人們。這就是為什麼我如此積極地想要盡快提供你們這個多次性、捐款制的線上課程，這樣真正需要、且想和我一起跳舞人也有機會能做到。
我會盡力每周剪輯更多新歌放在線上課裡，這樣在你練習同樣歌曲的同時，也能加入一些變化。
如果想知道如何登入線上課程，可以點下方連結。試上一下這堂課、看你想上多少次都可以。若你享受這個體驗，經濟能力許可下請捐款支持，或是與可能需要動一動的人分享！
❤️在新冠疫情期間，我們知道大家都有許不同層面的壓力，又同時要面對生活種種的不確定。我們相信舞蹈健身不只能帶來身體的健康，也能幫助心情穩定與心理平靜。不論你在世界的哪一個角落，我們希望能與你保持連結、繼續一起跳舞！
💃🏻線上課程（https://www.zumba.com/en-US/profile/kathleen-batchelor/797245 ）會在以下的時段開課 : 週一，三，六 9:00 & 17:00（台灣時間）。
⏰這堂一小時的預錄的課，有 5 個小時的區間（9am-2pm & 5pm-10pm）可以觀看。
💰目前的收費方式為捐款制。每堂課建議捐款：學生 5 元美金 / 150 元台幣；Zin 會員每堂課 3 元美金 / 90 元台幣 。
台灣學生 : 轉帳至 玉山銀行 808，帳號： 0521 - 466- 003696
國際學生 : PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/katiemovestaipeitw
